Four years of early peace.

After nearly a year of attacking, Lu Bu finally defeated Li Dao and Guo Yan with his own strong strength and the elite iron cavalry under his command, took Chang'an, and occupied a little territory in Liangzhou.

Liu Xie, the son of heaven, and all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty fell into the hands of Lu Bu, which made Lu Bu very ambitious, and he was eyeing several surrounding states.

......

Luoyang, Lu Bu's house.

Jia Xu and Lu Bu sat cross-legged and sent away the surrounding maids and housekeepers, Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu with a calm face, and felt very uncomfortable.

After he took Chang'an this time, Jia Xu said goodbye to him and wanted to return to Xiao Yun, how could Lu Bu be willing?

There is no shortage of generals under his command, the only thing he lacks is strategists, and Jia Xu has really helped Lu Bu a lot in the past few years, and has given Lu Bu a lot of good advice and advice for him.

Even this attack on Chang'an, if he hadn't finally used Jia Xu's divisive tactics to divide the relationship between Li Dao and Guo Yan and the Son of Heaven, causing them to be suspicious of each other and unable to unite to meet the enemy, otherwise how could Lu Bu take Chang'an so easily!

He has now increased his power greatly, and he has been getting along with Jia Xu for several years, Lu Bu thinks that Jia Xu should have sincerely surrendered to him, but he didn't expect that the other party still wanted to go to Merge State, and he valued Xiao Yun so much!

"Wenhe, can't you just stay and help me?" Lu Bu asked as he looked at Jia Xu with a heavy heart.

The first URL

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the general, I had an agreement with Xiao Yun at the beginning, and when the general is on the right track, that is, when I leave!" Jia Xu said with a calm face.

He had expected Lu Bu's retention for a long time, but he had already recognized Xiao Yun as the master, how could he be treacherous and go back on his word, and compared to Lu Bu, he looked better at Xiao Yun, even now, he still saw through Xiao Yun and felt that the other party was unfathomable.

However, Lu Bu has too many shortcomings, this person is snobbish, unplanned, eager for quick success, and greedy for small profits and forgets the righteousness, although he is brave and invincible, and his soldiers are wide, but Jia Xu really doesn't like him a little, and he is not optimistic about him.

If Xiao Yun hadn't asked him to stay and assist Lu Bu for a while, he wouldn't have stayed to assist Lu Bu, but now Lu Bu knows that he has recognized Xiao Yun as the master, but he still wants him to stay, and Xiao Yun is his son-in-law, such a person is even more disappointed!

"Okay!Wenhe, I'll send troops to escort you to Bingzhou!" Lu Bu said with a gloomy expression.

"Thank you for the kindness of the general, someone over there has already come to pick me up! I came here today to say goodbye to the general!"

After Jia Xu stood up and bowed deeply to Lu Bu, he turned around and walked outside, and when he walked to the door, he sighed and said lightly to Lu Bu:

"The general now has Luoyang and Chang'an, and the Son of Heaven is in hand, but Wan Wan is careless, Luoyang is surrounded by Yuan Shao in the north, Cao Cao in the east, and Yuan Shu in the south.

"Okay, thank you for the reminder!I'll think about it!" Lu Bu said gratefully to Jia Xu.

Looking at Jia Xu's departing figure, Lu Bu's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking?

......

Mid-September.

Cao Cao invaded Xuzhou on a large scale, and in just a few months, he took nearly half of Xuzhou's territory, and Xuzhou Mu Taoqian hurriedly asked the surrounding princes for help, but only Liu Bei came to help him.

It's just that Liu Bei's troops are too small, and in the face of Cao Cao, who is approaching step by step, Xiapi City is also surrounded by Cao's army, and when it is in danger, Cao Cao's backyard is on fire, and he has no choice but to retreat.

It was Lu Bu who forced Cao Cao to retreat, and he, like history, took advantage of Cao Cao's main force to attack Xuzhou and directly invaded Yanzhou.

In the face of the sudden killing of the iron cavalry led by Lu Bu, the defenders left by Cao Cao could not resist at all, and in a short period of time, Lu Bu occupied most of Yanzhou, making Cao Cao vomit blood angrily.

It's just that Lu Bu also made a fatal mistake, that is, he didn't listen to the advice that Jia Xu gave him when he left, and he didn't form an alliance with anyone, including merging states.

When he led a large army to invade Yanzhou, Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Ma Teng and Han Sui of Liangzhou seemed to have discussed it, and launched attacks on Luoyang and Chang'an at the same time.

In fact, Liu Xie, the Son of Heaven, is too tempting, everyone knows that as long as the Son of Heaven is in hand, he can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Yuan Shao, as the descendant of the Yuan family, how can he not have this kind of thought?

After Jia Xu left, Lu Bu re-recruited a strategist, that is, Chen Gong, a loyal man who saw through Cao Cao and abandoned Cao Cao.

It is not so much that Lu Bu recruited Chen Gong, but that Chen Gong chose Lu Bu, and after Chen Gong saw through Cao Cao's character, he made up his mind and swore that he must prevent a shameless person like Cao Cao from getting the world in this life.

He chose and chosen, and finally found that Lu Bu was the most lacking strategist, and Lu Bu was strong, and the soldiers and horses under his command were extremely elite, as long as he could gain Lu Bu's trust and persuade Lu Bu to attack Cao Cao, he would definitely be able to defeat Cao Cao.

This time, Lu Bu went to attack Yanzhou, a large part of which was caused by Chen Gong, and Lu Bu felt that Yanzhou was the best to fight under his persuasion, so he would take advantage of Cao Cao's absence to attack Yanzhou.

......

and state.

In the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, Huo Qingtong, Guo Jia, Xu Shu, and Jia Xu were discussing whether or not to help Lu Bu! Xiao Yun was still in retreat and couldn't be disturbed, so this matter had to be decided by Huo Qingtong and the others.

Now Yuan Shao has taken several counties in Sizhou, and the army is about to attack Luoyang, and Ma Teng and Han Sui of Liangzhou have also recovered the territory occupied by Lü Bu in Liangzhou and are continuing to invade Chang'an.

Originally, with the relationship between Xiao Yun and Lu Bu, in the face of this situation, Xiao Yun must have gone all out to help, but after Jia Xu came back, he told Lu Bu that he wanted to keep him, which greatly reduced Huo Qingtong and Guo Jia's impression of Lu Bu.

And more importantly, when he learned that Yuan Shao, Ma Teng and others had invaded Sizhou, Huo Qingtong immediately asked Gan Ning to lead an army of 300,000 to help, but he was rejected by the guards of Sizhou and prevented the Bingzhou army from entering the territory of Sizhou.

This situation directly made Huo Qingtong furious, he didn't expect that Lu Bu had already been on guard against merging the state, and he was so uneasy about Xiao Yun, in the face of the increasingly severe form of Sizhou, Huo Qingtong called Guo Jia, Jia Xu and Xu Shu to discuss countermeasures together!

"I'm worried that if you don't help, the lord will blame us when he leaves the customs!" Xu Shu said in a deep voice with a frown.

"This is not true, after all, this matter was done by Lu Bu unkindly, he distrusts us so much, and is wary of us, if it weren't for this incident, I'm afraid we would have been kept in the dark all the time!" Huo Qingtong said lightly.

"Wenhe, you've been with Lu Bu for several years, do you know why Lu Bu is so wary of us! He doesn't trust his son-in-law anymore!"

"Hey, this situation was actually what I expected, but I didn't expect it to be so early!" Jia Xu sighed.
